Wilf Keeps Paid Lobbyists Out of Education Committee

MK Dr. Einat Wilf (Independence), who chairs the Knesset’s Education Committee, has announced her decision to keep paid lobbyists out of the committee’s discussions.

Wilf told Arutz Sheva on Tuesday that the decision stems from a special report of a committee which examined the relationship between big businesses and government, and which issued a recommendation to this effect. She added that this move will make the discussions more productive, quick and businesslike.
